Chapter 25 Another World!
Chapter 25 Another World!
Da da da.
Wooden wheels pressed against the flat limestone slab.
Dorothy looked out at the endless plain.
Thirty days have passed since we entered the Kingdom of Radiance.
Wisdom increased to 47 points.
He has also mastered the Flowing Water Meditation Method to level three.
Without adding any points, the speed of cultivation on your own is indeed very slow.
As Dorothy traveled along the border, she discovered that the Kingdom of Radiant was indeed much wealthier than the Kingdom of Sauron.
There are still many hilly areas in the Kingdom of Solon.
The Kingdom of Radiance traversed plains along its path, and all the roads it had traveled were rammed and compacted.
Farmland and protective forests can be seen everywhere.
But there were no monsters to be seen.
Moreover, this country has more merchants, and its mercenaries are all organized in large numbers, unlike the scattered mercenaries in the Kingdom of Solon.
"There are so many people on the road. I see many people taking the same route as us. Are they also going to the City of Apprentices?"
Dorothy looked around.
There were many horse-drawn carriages along the way, and quite a few people were walking as well.
Some were dressed in obvious mage attire, with robes and wide-brimmed hats, while others were dressed as adventurers.
Elor glanced at it casually.
"They all went to the City of Apprentices, but most of them didn't even reach the level of an apprentice. At least a small portion of them went home for the winter festival and then came back."
"Someone here might become your peer."
"We can see the City of Apprentices now."
As Elor finished speaking, Dorothy could already see the endless city walls and towers in the distance.
"That...is that the City of Apprentices?"
Even though she only saw a blurry outline of the city, it was already quite a shock to Dorothy.
One tower after another stood on the plain, with mysterious runes flashing across the sky from time to time.
Dorothy squinted slightly and saw several small black dots flying across the sky from time to time.
Although it was far away, I couldn't see what it was.
But that was definitely not human.
The carriage was getting closer and closer to the city of apprentices.
The once spacious avenue now appeared somewhat crowded.
Elor watched as a young girl walked past, her face showing an expression of anticipation and excitement.
Every year, many people come with hope and leave with disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Dorothy guessed, "Is it difficult to become a magic apprentice?"
Elor shook his head and said, "Becoming a magic apprentice is not difficult; the difficult part is staying in the city of apprentices."
"The City of Apprentices does not limit the number of students each year, but only tens of thousands of people enroll each year. Many teachers even go out to find promising apprentices to bring back."
Dorothy looked up at the walls of the Apprentice City.
As you get closer, you'll find that the city wall, which stretches for almost a hundred miles and seems to have no end, is at least thirty meters high.
"What a huge project... How much manpower and resources will this take?" Dorothy remarked with some emotion. These walls alone would take hundreds of years to complete.
"These outer walls were built thousands of years ago by the archmage Olivia using magic to defend against the orc army that attacked from afar."
"Built by one man!"
Upon hearing this, Dorothy once again turned her gaze to the distant city wall and examined it carefully.
This miracle was actually created by one person; this is magic!
Dorothy became somewhat agitated.
"Giddy up! Giddy up!"
Just then, the sound of horses being urged on suddenly came from behind.
A white horse, so white it seemed to glow, galloped past the carriage driven by Dorothy and Ellor.
Dorothy's eyes widened instantly.
She couldn't help but rub her eyes, somewhat incredulous.
"It...it's actually true!"
"Huh?" Elor didn't understand why Dorothy was suddenly so agitated.
"That's a unicorn, right? And the thing riding on the unicorn, with those pointy ears, is that an elf?"
Dorothy looked at the golden figure riding on the back of the unicorn.
At this moment, she felt only contentment.
They really are elves!
Elor watched the departing elf, then turned to look at the excited Dorothy beside him.
"The location of the City of Apprentices is somewhat special, so many other races also come here to study."
"For example, there are dwarves in the blacksmithing discipline and elves in the enchanting craft."
The more Elor spoke, the more excited Dorothy became.
Another world, this is the other world life I've always wanted!
Elor shook her head slightly. She knew that Dorothy came from a small town and had never seen much of the world.
"Once you arrive in the City of Apprentices, you can stay with me temporarily. If you find it inconvenient, I can take you to find another place to rent."
"Thanks."
Dorothy nodded her thanks.
She's not the kind of person who likes to bother others.
Once she settles down in the City of Apprentices, she will definitely rent a house to live in if she has the means.
"But with so many people, won't we be able to get into the city by nightfall?"
Dorothy looked at the people on the main road and said with some concern.
Elor said there was no need to worry.
"It's alright. There are many entrances to the City of Apprentices, and with me leading the way, we can enter smoothly this afternoon."
After all, although the city of apprentices could be seen with the naked eye, it was still some distance from the city gate.
Dorothy now is a true country bumpkin visiting a big city for the first time.
She was extremely restless in the carriage, swaying from side to side and turning her head back and forth. Everything around her was new and exciting.
Looking at the expectant Dorothy, Elor sighed inwardly.
The world of magic is not peaceful.
Even in the City of Apprentices, open and covert struggles are inevitable.
Moreover, many commoner apprentices like Dorothy disappear every year after they enroll.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you..."
Elor looked at Dorothy and murmured softly.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Elor?"
Dorothy heard Elor's whisper and turned to look at her with some confusion.
Elor smiled and shook his head.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to congratulate you on officially embarking on the path of magic."
"Hehe, I will study magic diligently."
Dorothy smiled and exhaled.
in the afternoon.
The camel pulled the carriage to the foot of the city wall.
Elor's apprentice badge allowed them to pass directly into the city.
Dorothy looked up at the city gate that was being passed through.
Wow~
I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
The entire city wall is a full twenty meters thick.
After passing through the city walls, we officially entered the City of Apprentices.
Flying magical beasts occasionally flew across the sky.
The streets were mostly filled with pedestrians wearing magic robes.
There were many magical beasts along the way that were similar to camel-like creatures.
Wow, this is so lively!
Dorothy opened her eyes wide, as if trying to etch everything she saw into her mind.
Then Dorothy noticed that the magic tower seemed to be some distance away.
"Elor, aren't there any magic towers around here?"
Ask if you don't understand something, after all, Elor is now your guide.
Elor shook his head. "This is the outer city. Mercenaries and merchants tend to congregate in this area."
Then Elor pointed to the magic tower in the distance.
"That's the core area of the Apprentice City; only students of the Apprentice City are allowed to enter."
"Oh, I see." Dorothy nodded to indicate that she understood.
Elor continued, "Let's go to my place first. Rest today, and tomorrow I'll show you around the City of Apprentices. When school starts, I'll take you to enroll."
